Republicans angling for gavels asked to present their plans for creating jobs
By Molly K. Hooper - 11/30/10 11:59 AM ET


Republicans who are jockeying to lead House committees in the next Congress are being asked to explain how they would focus on job creation.

According to the prospective chairmen, members of the House Republican Steering Committee have asked how the respective lawmakers would gear their committee's agenda toward improving the economy.

Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), who is in line to take the gavel of the Oversight and Government Reform Committee, spent a half-hour taking questions from the members of the Steering Committee on Monday. The panel comprises all the Republican leadership teams and regional representatives and class representatives.

Even though Issa’s bid for chairman is uncontested, all prospective chairmen have to make presentations before the nearly 30-member panel, which will decide the top-ranking Republican lawmaker on the various House committees.

Following his closed-door meeting with the panel Monday night, Issa said his colleagues zeroed in on how his committee would move forward on the Republican mandate to turn around the economy.

"I don't have, per se, the capability to deal with unemployment, but I do have a mandate to look at government agencies that are causing unemployment not to occur," Issa told The Hill.
